When google is used in universal search always is in different langauges?

Dariste · 06/06/2010, 08:05 PM

I've been having this problem for a for a while. It originally was in what appeared to be japanese. I cleared cache and cookies and at first the problem was fixed, but now it's back and google is in spanish! Has this ever happened to anyone else before? (Sprint Pre on latest firmware)

Shadavis08 · 06/06/2010, 08:16 PM

yeah you should maybe sign in to google and then go into setting and set for english

Shadavis08 · 06/06/2010, 08:17 PM

p.s. its happening to alot of people but if your not signed up for google then just scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the link to view in english

Shadavis08 · 06/06/2010, 08:21 PM

Shadavis08 · 06/06/2010, 08:43 PM

so did this help you out any ??

Dariste · 06/06/2010, 08:51 PM

Yeah, thanks. I did what you said and its stayed in english ever since.

Shadavis08 · 06/06/2010, 08:55 PM

Palm and Google have partnered together to teach everyone new languages - embrace it!

If you go to Google from your bookmark, make sure you change your bookmark to the page that you get when you click to view the site in English (the URL ends in "en", I think). For searching without going to Google first, sometimes you'll get Spanish, which is annoying. Just gotta click on the English link when that happens.

Maybe Google sees we're on "Pre" with the accent mark over the "e" so thinks we speak Spanish? I dunno!

I get this problem all the time.

I've gotten japanese, french, spanish, portugese, and I think even german if I remember correctly.

insane42 · 06/24/2010, 12:58 PM

Happens to me too. I've gotten both French and Spanish so far. I set back to English in my preferences, but after a few weeks or some random time, BAM.... some other random language. What's annoying, is that in my settings it is all still set to English. All I do is go to the settings page and hit "Save". Definitely a bug.

It happens to me all of the time too. For minute, I thought Sprint was using a proxy from another country...lol.

It's happened to me a few times.... I don't stay logged into my google profile usually (or try not to), but if I click english at the bottom of the page that usually fixes it for me for a long time. can't remember the last time it happened to be honest, but it appears to be random (thinking a cookie issue)
